FFP would like to welcome our newest Steering Committee member, Haleigh Summers.

Haleigh is an Agricultural Geospatial Data Scientist with the Sand County Foundation . We were going to list her qualifications, but honestly, we'd run out of character space.

The short version:
✅ Ph.D. in Sustainable Agriculture & Environmental Science
✅ M.S. in Agronomy
✅ GIS Certificate
✅ Data-Driven Food, Energy & Water Certificate
✅ Water quality modeling expertise
✅ Conservation leadership experience
✅ Agricultural data scientist

The longer version? Let's just say we're lucky she said yes.

With the education, the leadership experience, and a passion for helping farmers make sense of complex conservation data, Haleigh brings an incredible mix of technical knowledge and real-world perspective to FFP.

We're thrilled to have her at the table. Welcome, Haleigh!

This isn't a top-down workshop.

The Fishers & Farmers Workshop, co-hosted by The Nature Conservancy, is shaped by the people in the room. Participants help guide conversations, explore shared challenges, and develop practical solutions together.

Because the people closest to the challenges are often closest to the solutions.

What happens on the land directly affects the water.

That's why FFP Workshops bring farmers, fishers, and watershed leaders together for conversations that matter.

No lectures. No spectators.

Just people sharing experiences, solving challenges, and building action plans together.

🎥 FFP Workshops are NOT your typical conference.

You won't spend three days sitting through PowerPoints.

You'll help choose discussion topics, share your experiences, learn from others, and build an action plan you can actually use.

Three days. Real conversations. Practical action.

We're proud to work with people like Travis & Krista Klinkner. Their family farm was recently recognized by Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies with a national stewardship award for the conservation practices they've implemented on their organic farm in Genoa, Wisconsin. Well deserved! 👏
